No, I know that.

I meant the close up on other characters’ eyes, like the Jessica Jones close-up at the beginning, or the Doc Strange close-up after he calls Wong. They look really, really big and they have a lot of red between the whites and the skin.

But it’s such a small nit in an overall fantastic job by Yu.

Adan…the close up on those eyes in new avengers 31….it shows that luke cage’s baby eyes change colors…from nomal….to that of a skrull…..cue evil “dun-dun-duuuun” music.

Adan,

thanks for dropping by my website.

IA #2 KALI was my first ever full length comic book script and I appreciate your candid review. I was attempting a style of multiple narrators like Matt Wagner’s TRINITY for KALI. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew for a first timer :).

Feedback like yours is part of my evolution as a writer which hopefully shall bring about better narratives in future stories.

Would be very interested in your thoughts on India Authentic #1 : Ganesha.

Thanks and regards
Saurav

Completely agree with the assessment regaring Winnick’s run on Green Arrow. Everything you both said, particularly Brendan, couldn’t have explained my frustration better.

I hope to heck whenever Ollie gets a series again (beyond the GA/Black Canary spin off) that Winnick is not allowed near him.

Where the heck is Mike Grell when you need him.

In regards to New Avengers #31, it’s Marvel meets The Thing. So all I have to say is where the heck is R.J. MacReady when you need him?! I don’t know how I feel about all this, as I’m reading the book primarily for Doctor Strange and Lenil’s art.

Here is the thing about the “Banter” comment by ronin in the first issue of this Arc. It is a very simple explanation of in the past when Hawkeye was on a team, HE was the witty banter. Everyone else, if they talked during fights it wasn’t witty banter. now he is on a team where all of them on some level are witty smart asses. He feels a little weirded out that its not all up to him now.

Hurm… I agree on all counts (I didn’t even notice the WTC imagery until you mentioned it, but yeah, tasteless).

I think Bendis is hiding under Brendan’s skirt giving him the old Manly Whistle 24/7 because that’s the only thing that can explain why Brendan says the things he says about New Avengers.

WWH, good.

WWH WTC imagery… tasteless.

New Avengers, bad.

Settle down there, hoss. If you read the review, I actually quite like the issue and never once did I malign “Pak’s gifted writing.” In fact, I praised him for Planet Hulk. I only mention the She-Hulk thing because the last World War Hulk tie-in said her powers were gone.

Take your own advice and read before you start typing.

Adan,
If you read the prologue, you’d see that the smartest kid in the world killed off the nanobots. How about you actually read the prologue before judging Pak’s gifted writing. He’s taken what Bruce Jones started and turned the Hulk back into The Incredible Hulk.
b out.
